I had the same problem. I took a small screwdriver and used it to pry it open

Easiest way ive found is start at the botton and work your way around the edges. It is still difficult though, dont get me wrong.

Unfortunately, the trick is to use something thin to pry it open. I haven't tried it yet as I haven't had to access my battery, but feel as though I could also break it. Not a good design for sure, but for the price, I guess we get what we pay for!

I keep guitar picks around for prying open plastic cases. They're cheap and come in varying thicknesses.

Take a thin flat head screwdriver and slip between gap and pop up. Once one end is up the rest will pop right off. Good luck

You will see a thin gap on the side of the hard plastic, just use your fingernail or metal nail file and pop! Off it will come.

Hi. I'm just another customer, but I have the case. The way it's made, you couldn't keep the bumper on by itself. The soft bumper goes on, then the outer ring, which is hard plastic, goes over it and secures it. It looks really good, but you do still have to be a bit careful because you can knock it off more easily than a full case.

I've been doing it by opening the case so everything is facing upward with the latch/ipad on the right (I'm right-handed), holding the latch slightly toward the inside with my right thumb and using the fingers of my left hand to push slightly upward on the back of the top left corner of the case while using my left thumb to snap the corner of the case off of the ipad. Repeat with the lower left corner then reach to the top left again (where the cut-out for the headphone jack is) and lift the ipad out. Mine comes out very easily now but it was probably a bit difficult the first few times :-)

It requires a lot of strength. Don't think you are going to break it, it won't. First, take off the gray rubber encasing. Then, grab the middle of both of the sides. This pries it open. Then slide your finger along the opening and open the next closed tab. If that doesn't work you need to be rough and take off the rest of the tabs. Hopefully this works. This case is meant for protection, so it's a pain in the butt to take off :)

Tug, pull and pry carefully. Once it's on, it's kinda tough to get off but start with top and work your way around hard case...

There is an instructional video on their website...I felt the same way til I watched the video...it's super easy. It just peels apart at the top of the case

Hi, the best way I found to get mine off was to lay the phone screen down on a flat surface and push down just above the spot where the two pieces of the case come together. Once you push down on there, the bottom piece should slide off easier. I hope that helps

OH i know that feeling. Its as simple as pulling it apart, BUT its going to feel as if its going to break. Its a bad feeling. Just take your time and separate the front and back of the case.I haven't took the case off of my iPod since Ive placed it on for the 2nd time. I hope this helps a little.

I know I've answered this before but can't find the answer now. Hold the phone sideways with the top of the phone to your right and the display facing you. The left edge of the case will be facing "UP". Press both thumbs against the left edge of the case, now at the top and the case should pop off slightly, mostly from your left thumb. Once it's popped off, you can pull the phone out relatively easily.

Slide the black thing on the bottom of the case sideways and out it should slide off easily (:

While I've heard that some people have difficulty removing it, I've found it to be not too difficult. This is what I do. Holding the iPad in portrait mode, I push off the upper right tab of the plastic case. This is rather easy to do. Then, I gradually push the cover's right edge off of the iPad, starting from the upper right side. About half way down, you'll feel the iPad pop off. Just make sure that any flex forced in the process is exerted on the plastic cover and not your iPad. Good luck.

Not me, it's probably the way you attached it, try to take the case off and put it on again

The front sits tightly inside the back piece which has a slightly rubbery feel to it on the sides. If you start at one of the corners you should be able to hold the front of the case still with your left thumb (if you are right handed) and with the thumb on your right hand pull back on the corner and it should come apart. It took me a few tries when I got it. I love the case so give it a try.

I had no problems getting the phone out of the case. It should not be the most simple thing in the world. I just pry the corner where the camera is away and the push the phone out through that camera hole and then just pry it the rest of the way out with my finger. IMO...it's probably best that it doesn't just slip right out of the case.

If you still don't have any luck, I can try to post a video this weekend of how to lock it in. It's really a secure case in that respect. I've dropped my ipad so many times and it remains securely in the case. Let me know if you think a video would help or if you've just moved on entirely :-)

So glad you asked that question. I just got my unit and have been trying to take the top off for the past 15 minutes. Finally looked here and was relieved that it's not just me. Finally I got it off - no secret - just brute strength. :-)

Really, there is no easy way to do it. When you first get the case, you pretty much have to break it in. If you have like a small flat head screwdriver, you can kinda use that to "pop" it out. I used my fingernails, and let me tell you, I thought I would bust one, but I didn't. Hope this helps.
